Chapter 343: The Second Station of the Southern Tour: Hangzhou (middle)

Maybe even Zhu Yunqi himself didn't expect that little Zhu Wenqi could make such a decisive answer.

Whoever undermines stability will be dealt with!

This said that Zhu Yunwen was really extremely happy, and this kind of happiness was shown by Zhu Yunwen without hiding it.

He touched Zhu Wenqi's head and said to the latter: "Your father and I are on this southern tour to take a look at the situation in the Jiangnan provinces where the business atmosphere of Ming Dynasty has been strongest in recent years.

Although everything looks good, the economy is growing rapidly, and the tax situation is even more gratifying, there are still things to worry about."

Zhu Wenqi asked: "Father, what's wrong?"

"Imperial Merchant."

Zhu Yunwen said in a deep voice: "This chamber of commerce established by me has unknowingly grown to a very large scale in the past few years.

We relatives, your uncles and grandfathers have begun to expose the greed in their hearts and want to control all the profitable business activities of our Ming Dynasty.

They earn more, pay more taxes, and receive more money from my internal funds.

At the moment, it seems like they are all good, but if they are allowed to continue to expand like this, in the future, they will destroy the stability of our Ming Dynasty."

As he spoke, Zhu Yunwen sighed again.

If you want to suppress the imperial merchants, the anti-monopoly bill must be implemented. Once the anti-monopoly law is implemented, the clan members will speak ill of Zhu Yunwen behind his back.

Although Zhu Yunwen's reputation in Zongren Mansion has become "stinky".

As the head of the Zhu family, I don't think about my family at all, and I try every possible means to cause trouble for my family. Is this a crooked ass?

Just as I, as the country's largest ruler and a vested interest holder, are constantly opposing the ruling class and vested interests, this is definitely a crooked behavior.

But he is the leader of this country after all. Zhu Yunwen touched Zhu Wenqi's head and asked: "Now that you know what kind of people are destroying the stability of the country, do you think we should still insist on dealing with it?"

This question made Zhu Wenqi think seriously for a long time before he nodded solemnly.

"Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety cannot have both sides. The ministers should be loyal to the king, and the king should be loyal to the country.

Country, country, country comes before home, so if you are loyal to your country, you cannot be filial to your family."

This answer made Zhu Yunwen laugh up to the sky. He felt that all the depression in his heart was swept away. His second son, who had grown up by his side and had never received the messy teachings of the ancients, was indeed more in tune with his thoughts.

This old man.

Seeing Zhu Yunwen's hearty smile, Zhu Wenqi also laughed too, although he didn't know why his father smiled so happily.

"You can say such things because you are still young and have a pure and sincere heart.

I still don’t understand what fetters and scruples are, and I can purely distinguish right from wrong. I hope you can keep it forever. Remember what you said, the king must be loyal to the country.

The king always has only one position, and his butt can only sit in one position, and that is the country and the people.

If you don't think about the country and the people when leading this country, then you are really screwing up your butt.

Qi'er, I have a message for you, I hope you can remember it forever."

The words paused here. Zhu Yunwen knelt down, looked straight at Zhu Wenqi, and said extremely seriously: "I will live without myself and live up to the people."

I will live without myself and live up to the people!

The little Zhu Wenqi couldn't understand why his father was so cheerful just now and now so serious.

But he was also affected by Zhu Yunwen's words, and his expression became solemn.

"My son, I must remember my father's teachings and never forget them throughout my life."

"Go find your uncle and ask him to take you around the city of Hangzhou to see the scenery and so on."

He rubbed Zhu Wenqi's little head dotingly, and Zhu Yunwen just squatted and watched Zhu Wenqi leave, and then stood up and smiled at Shuangxi behind him.

"If you give birth to a child like this, what else can you ask for?"

These words came from the mouth of Emperor Zhu Yunwen, and the weight of affirmation in them was too great.

If he were a foreign minister, he would never dare to take Zhu Yunwen's words, but Shuangxi is an outsider, and he would be happy when Zhu Yunwen was happy.

"Compared to the eldest prince, the second prince is indeed much more sincere."

"I don't know what it will be like when I grow up."

As a father, Zhu Yunwen is also unavoidable and has the feeling of a father worrying about gains and losses. Especially when it comes to grasping the future of his children, Zhu Yunwen is particularly unreliable.

"Wen Kui was injured at the hands of his mother when he was a child. In the end, the crux of the problem still lies with me. I had just ascended the throne at that time, and I was too concerned with the affairs of the court and had no time to care and educate.

As a result, Wen Kui received too much education that he should not have received when he was young.

Fortunately, what happened in the grassland in the past two years made Wenkui's temperament much more decisive, and he has become more mature and steady in the past two years, which is an unexpected blessing.

As for Wenqi, his mother has taught him well and has always looked after him. He is close to me and he is very close to me. I don’t know what he will be like when he grows up."

Zhu Yunwen's behavior made Shuangxi couldn't help laughing, and he hurriedly spoke to comfort him: "Your Majesty, please relax, the two princes will definitely become your Majesty's right-hand assistants in the future, and they will also be the pillars of our Ming Dynasty."

"Okay, no matter what happens to these children, they will have to walk their own path."

Zhu Yunwen shook his head, getting rid of all the messy emotions in his mind, and regained the majesty of a generation of emperors: "Notify Wang Dui that I will summon the person in charge of the Zhejiang merchants and the president of the Zhejiang branch of the Huang merchants."

"promise."

Although it was Shuangxi who accepted the order, the eunuch had to do the errands and summons, and Zhu Yunwen was not made to wait for long. He just read a few interesting stories about Zhejiang Province and didn't even finish a pot of tea.

Wang Dun led three or four people to Zhu Yunwen's temporary residence.

A palace located by the West Lake.

This was originally a large mansion, the residence of a wealthy local businessman in Hangzhou. After the news that the emperor was coming to Hangzhou reached Hangzhou through the General Affairs Department, the place was expropriated.

Naturally, the wealthy businessman happily applauded and even spent his own money to have the road outside the mansion paved a lot within a few days.

As soon as the people who met the Saint came in and saw Zhu Yunwen's unkind face, they felt a little uneasy in their hearts.

Looking at the emperor's expression, he is going to go crazy.

Sure enough, after waiting for them to greet me, I didn't hear Pingsheng's approval after waiting for a long time. Instead, I heard this sentence.

"Wang Qing is indeed my loyal minister. You can mobilize tens of thousands of people even if you drive from the Hangzhou Canal Pier. This makes me very happy. In the future, the people of Hangzhou will not have to engage in production, and spring plowing will be saved."

If the Qing family has nothing to do, they will bring the big guys to Nanjing to kowtow a few times. I will take care of the food, what do you think?"

The flattery hit the horse's leg!
